Chapter 53: It's arranged

Liang Qi left with more than forty guards, and these guards must have naturally done some traces of "hard fighting".

There must be rewards for the suffering of flesh and skin, and being a soldier is not for food, but only for a slight beating to get a reward, and it can also avoid continuing to fight with the sailors of the Wu army on the river in the future, and they all rejoiced and begged for beating.

Before entering the summer water, Guan Ping asked Wang Mo to go first, and he and Ma Liang led a group of people and horses.

Soon, Lu Yi's fleet entrenched in Xiakou appeared in everyone's sight.

Those soldiers of the Northern Army under Liang Qi before didn't understand the situation at all, and when they saw a large group of Jiangdong sailors coming, they were suddenly scattered, and they were so frightened that they hugged their heads and screamed.

Guan Ping smiled bitterly and waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

"Guys, there was a lot to hide before. Actually, I'm not Nanyang Yunshan," he took a deep breath and said loudly with all his might, "I am Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yunchang, and I entered here under the orders of General Zuo. ”

A group of soldiers of the Northern Army looked at each other, not knowing why Guan Yu's son appeared here for a while.

Speaking of which, they are not afraid of Guan Ping, because Liu Beijun has always had an excellent reputation, and Guan Ping's attitude before was kind enough. Now that Sun Liu is in alliance, the Jiangdong army should not kill them at will, which is a good thing.

It's just that I don't know why Guan Yu's son pretended to be someone else's name and mixed in with Cao Jun.

Lu Yi's big ship was not too close under the command of Guan Ping's command banner, which made the hearts of these Northern Army soldiers finally let go, and a few bold ones even dared to say:

"The general wants me to wait for the defection and support the Han family with the general?"

These soldiers of the Northern Army have no hatred with Liu Beijun, and it would be good if they could join Liu Beijun, but they were worried that their wives and children would be affected.

Guan Ping could see what these people were thinking, and said:

"Guan didn't want the prince to fight with me, he just wanted the princes to put down their swords. I can provide land for the public to cultivate, and please rest assured. ”

Yes?

Cao Jun and everyone looked at each other.

What kind of routine is this?

Historically, those who have been captured have to be selected to be strong soldiers, and this kind of land ...... It brought back their bad memories at once.

If it's the same as Cao Jun's Tuntian, it's better to be a soldier.

Ma Liang stepped forward and smiled like a big bad wolf:

"Gentlemen, everyone knows me. South of Xiangyang, all ...... Most of it is my Ma family's land, and I only want to do business with Jiangdong and make a fortune, not to do anything else.

Now that the public has been counted as a person who died in battle, as long as he is willing to go back with me, I can grant land to the public south of Xiangyang for cultivation. The public family is small, and they can always get some pensions...... If there is. ”

"Although the acres of land in Jingzhou are not as good as those in the Central Plains, I, Ma Liang, swear here today that the land rent will never exceed forty percent in the future, and the loan interest will never exceed two cents.

In my Ma family's farming, Cao Jun's conscription is exempted. Think about it, how is this better than being a soldier? ”

This kind of thing sounds very scary, but compared to the tuntian in the north, it is simply fantastic.

Cao Cao's land rent of more than sixty percent of Tuntian abounds, and a large number of soldiers serve in winter all year round, resulting in a large number of Tuntian customers fleeing or revolting, as for the interest on loans is even more ridiculously high, many people are forced to sell their children, and finally even forced to commit suicide.

If they can be counted as those who died in the battle with Soochow, and let them hide in the mountains to cultivate, it is a great thing for the small people of Shengdou.

If you don't agree, you will soon die in battle, and if you agree, you will still have land. Cao Cao didn't have much kindness to them, and normal people knew how to choose.

Guan Ping and Ma Liang hit this combination of punches, and everyone was naturally overjoyed, and they expressed their willingness to accept the adaptation and go to Xiangyang to farm.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a large number of people from the Central Plains have fled to Jingzhou, but compared with the Central Plains, there is still a large amount of uncultivated land here, which is far from the level of later generations.

Ma Liang and other wealthy families conceal the population is the basic skill, and no one in the Xiangyang area dares to embarrass their family.

Relying on the "battle-dead" soldiers transferred by Guan Ping, they can grow rapidly, and may soon surpass the Cai family to become the leader.

This is what Maleonn has been looking forward to.

The discussion was decided, and Guan Ping waved his flag to call Lu Yi's fleet closer.

Looking at the large number of prisoners and the two ships full of rice and grain, Rao is Lu Yi calmed down, and he couldn't help but blush with excitement.

"What a Guan Tanzhi, this is also a clever plan that Zhuge Junshi came up with? It's really amazing, foolish brother admires! ”

Lu Yi couldn't imagine that there was such a clever trick to gather wool in this world.

This time, they only cooperated with Guan Ping to perform a scene, and they seized Cao Jun's two transport ships with a total of 1,000 stone of grain!

Although this loss was not small, it was not enough for Cao Jun to give up the plan to transport military rations by water, and even as long as the loss was within an acceptable range, they would continue to increase their transportation capacity.

After all, the water transport is too fragrant, and Lu Yun has to eat most of the people who escort him, and it is no different from being robbed.

As long as it is not exposed, Guan Ping and Lu Yi can join forces to occupy this place in the future and continuously seize food from Cao's army.

The generals of the Cao army who transported the grain were obedient, and those who did not want to cooperate were directly hacked to death, even if they died in the fierce battle, the remaining soldiers were definitely unwilling to continue to stay because of the tyranny of the Cao army.

In this way, Cao's army was slowly weakened, which was far better than the previously planned tactic of attacking Xiangyang and then quickly slipping away.

Lu Yi even hoped that it would be best for Cao Jun to stay in Jiangling for a while, this was a thousand stone of grain and two ships, and he would come a few more times in the future, this was a real golden waterway.

Well, but it's time to practice Lu Yi's acting skills.

"It's all thanks to Brother Lu and Brother Ma, I don't have much credit." Guan Ping smiled quite frankly.

Liu Dian said with some emotion:

"The little general has been more active these days, and he was still a few days ago, but now he has learned to use a plan."

Ma Liang looked at Lu Yi, and always felt a little afraid in his heart, but fortunately, he was quite good at handling things, so he smiled and said:

"Tan Zhi is really humble, if it weren't for you, how could I recognize such an elegant gentleman as Bo Yan.

In the future, I will have to ask Brother Lu to take care of it. ”

There were greedy smiles on everyone's faces, and the air was full of joy all around, and Guan Ping casually asked about Sun Quan's situation.

Lu Yi has been floating on the Han River recently, and he has not seen Sun Quan, but he heard from the sergeant who delivered grain in the rear that Sun Quan had gone to Xiakou before, and heard that he was preparing to attack the Jingcheng area.

"What are you doing in Jingcheng if you have nothing to do?" Guan Ping was confused.

Lu Yi shook his head and said:

"I don't know, the Supreme has his own ideas."

He was a little helpless in his words, and he could only skip the topic quickly.

Guan Ping nodded, and said in his heart that Sun Quan was one of the commanders of the Huimeng, and there were many talents in Jiangdong, so it was not his turn to point fingers.

Seeing that everything was over, Guan Ping saluted Lu Yi and said:

"The military situation is urgent, and the younger brother will go to Gangneung. The things behind are all entrusted to Brother Lu. ”

Lu Yi said solemnly:

"I am a fellow brother, this matter must be done well, if there is a mistake, I will go to Jiangling to rescue you with all my might!"

"Take care!"

"Take care!"
